COVID-19 Response: We're All In This Together!

For the past 50 years, the American Childhood Cancer Organization has supported families through the most difficult time in their lives. With the uncertainty that COVID-19 brings to all families across the country, ACCO remains committed to our mission. We are dedicated to making childhood cancer a national health priority through shaping policy, supporting research, raising awareness, and providing educational resources and innovative programs to children with cancer, survivors, and their families. Kids still get cancer, they still need cures and we will continue to provide support ... because kids can't fight cancer alone®!

ACCO is continuing to provide programs while working to help children and families while in quarantine. By clicking this link, you will find activity and coloring sheets, stories of isolation (and how to get through it) and learn more about "Sew to Save Lives." ... because we're all in this together!

Because Kids Can't Fight Cancer Alone...

Annika was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at just 10 weeks of age and has been fighting cancer for more than 6 years. Childhood cancer can make children and families feel like they are all alone, especially when low immunity means isolation to stay safe from life-threatening germs and viruses. Learn more about Annika and how the ACCO + Amazon is making a difference to ensure no child fights cancer alone.

Help support kids like Annika by raising awareness through signature programs like PJammin. Pajamas are the battle uniform for children with cancer. Too often it is a lonely battle fought isolated in hospital rooms or confined to staying at home for months – even years at a time. Help us let them know they are not alone.

Our mission

Changing the Outcome

Childhood cancer is the #1 disease-related cause of death for children in the United States and many other countries. For those who survive, two-thirds will also endure chronic health conditions from the toxic side effects of cancer treatment, including secondary cancers and other life-threatening illnesses.
